La voix des droits humains du Burundi à Genève 17 septembre 2026 | Genève En date du 17 septembre 2026, des organisations de la société civile burundaise, engagées dans la défense et la promotion des droits humains, prennent part à la 63ᵉ session du Conseil des droits de l’homme des Nations Unies, à Genève. Vianney Nizigiyimana, Président de l’organisation King Umurundi Freedom, a participé à cette session. A cette occasion, des échanges avec différents acteurs et partenaires engagés dans la défense et la promotion des droits humains portent notamment sur la situation des droits humains au Burundi, ainsi que sur la question du renouvellement du mandat du Rapporteur spécial sur la situation des droits de l’homme au Burundi. Ces échanges interviennent dans un contexte où les préoccupations relatives à la situation des droits humains au Burundi demeurent importantes, notamment au regard des informations faisant état de violations et de restrictions persistantes des droits et libertés fondamentaux. La société civile burundaise réaffirme ainsi l’importance de poursuivre le dialogue, le suivi, la documentation et l’alerte sur la situation des droits humains au Burundi, en collaboration avec les différents mécanismes et partenaires internationaux. L'organisation King Umurundi Freedom réaffirme son engagement à contribuer, aux côtés des autres acteurs de la société civile et de ses partenaires, à la protection et à la promotion des droits humains, de la démocratie, de la bonne gouvernance, de la transparence et d’un Burundi inclusif, démocratique et équitable.

In line with this year's theme, Inspired by Nature. For Climate. For Our Future, the discussion highlighted the need for meaningful community participation and sustainable resource management to ensure mining leaves a positive legacy rather than environmental degradation.

What happens after the minerals are gone? This question guided today’s panel on post-mining rehabilitation, climate justice & sustainable resource management. Panelists emphasized that responsible mining must go beyond extraction to ensure accountability. #WorldEnvironmentDay

We are now in Mvindeni, Kwale County, joining our #HakiNiYetu grantees working on Business and Human Rights (BHR) as we commemorate #WorldEnvironmentDay. Follow the conversation live here: piped.video/live/ENycap6GB2Y… @OurKwaleCounty #WorldEnvironmentDay #HakiNiYetu

As World Environment Day approaches, we are reminded that protecting our planet also means protecting people who defend it. Across East Africa and Kenya in particular, environmental defenders are on the frontlines of the climate crisis, protecting land, water, and community resources. In doing so, many face intimidation, harassment, and even physical harm. Their safety is essential for meaningful climate action and environmental governance. “Communities cannot effectively participate in environmental governance or climate action when defenders are silenced, criminalised, or left without protection.” Through the #HakiNiYetu project, support to @EROG is helping strengthen regional solidarity, build rapid response systems, and empower environmental defenders to safely continue their work for justice and accountability. The initiative is supported by the EU Delegation to Kenya. Read more: kios.fi/en/2026/05/protectin…⁠� #WorldEnvironmentDay #ClimateJustice #HumanRights #EnvironmentalRights #Solidarity
